Add Value by Imparting Confidence | MWM
How To Use Confidence To Boost Insecurity = People are insecure, and because of that you want to give them confidence. Being secure and confident in oneself is an asset in helping other people. When you say something to other people that make them a little more confident and secure in themselves, and if you do that you build a more solid relationship with them



Are You Secure in Your Leadership? | MWM
You Have What It Takes = You must be secure in who you are—comfortable in your own skin. While riding great success or learning from failure, have the security to not take yourself too seriously. When you have a confident, silent security, it can be contagious to those around you. Good leaders need confidence and certainty. 


One Man Discovers How to Succeed by Serving Others
Serve Others! = Become invaluable by being a good teammate. Value others’ needs, and learn to serve others. Become the person that makes the people around you better. How can you serve others today and become invaluable?


https://youtu.be/SIzWgdGpzoY
Be Someone's Confidence= Many people we come across in life are insecure, and we want to help give them confidence. Being secure and confident in yourself is an asset in helping other people. When you can convey this to others, you can pass it on, and others can experience that security when they are around you, thus further growing and developing a solid relationship with them.

How to Have Job Security (Part 1)
https://youtu.be/CvqG5f-1wso
This week, we begin a brand-new, two-part series on How to Have Job Security! This lesson is for two kinds of people: 
1) People who want to be invaluable to their company
2) Leaders who want to recruit invaluable people to their company
If my math is correct, that’s everyone on this planet in the workforce. Especially during times of economic uncertainty, job security and having the right people on your team is at the top of many employees’ and leaders’ minds. 
So, today, John Maxwell is going to teach exactly how to embrace these skills. Then, after John’s lesson, Chris Goede and Mark Cole will share how they apply these values at Maxwell Leadership and how you can do the same.


How to Have Job Security (Part 2)
https://youtu.be/zHHtvAY-EAQ
This week, we continue our two-part series on How to Have Job Security! During economic uncertainty, employees and leaders alike are asking two big questions: “How can I make sure my job is secure?”, and “Do I have the right people on my team?” This series will help you answer both questions!
After John’s lesson, Mark Cole will be joined by Chris Goede to wrap up this series by offering practical ways that you can apply John’s principles to your own life and leadership. This is not an episode you’ll want to miss!

1 Corinthians 2:3 And so far as I myself was concerned, I came to you in conscious feebleness and in fear and in deep anxiety.
Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
John 14:27 ESV Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
Matthew 6:25-34 ESV “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ...

Security and Assurance

 "Your heavenly Father already knows perfectly well what you need and he will give it to you if you give him first place in your life and live as he wants you to."  Matthew 6:33 (LB)

 "Your security is not in your bank account; your security is in the Lord. If God turns off one faucet, he can turn on another."

 Many of us act like spiritual orphans. We forget that we have a heavenly Father who already knows what we need.  He's just waiting for us to ask.  He will provide.  Does God take care of little birds?  They don't worry. Human beings are the only things in all creation that worry. Everything else trusts the heavenly Father and creator to care for their needs.

 "He gives food to those who trust Him.  He never forgets His promises." (Psalm 111:5 LB) 

 How much do you trust God?  Worry is really just a form of atheism.  Every time you worry, you're saying, "It all depends on me." That's just not in the Bible.

 You must trust God with your life.  Today's verse says, "If you give him first place."  Why?  Because as long as you love anything more than God that thing or person or item will become a source of anxiety. 

 "Don't put your hope in wealth which is so uncertain. But put your hope in God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment." (1 Timothy 6:17) You must always remember -- your security is not in your bank account; your security is in the Lord. If God turns off one faucet, he can turn on another.  If he turns off one job, he can turn on another.  You must seek the Lord. 

 The book of Romans says God sent his son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for you to pay for your salvation.  If God loves you enough to send His own son to die for you, don't you think He loves you enough to take care of your bills?  Don't you realize that any other problem is minor by comparison? He solved your biggest problem when he saved you. The bottom line is this:  Are you going to believe God to do what He says He will do?  And are you going to believe him enough to do what he tells you to do?

Intergenerational Quotes

Quotes About Intergenerational

  • The promise of Social Security was reflected in President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's inter-generational compact that rewards hard work and provides retirement security. --Christine Pelosi

  • Every single day there are communities and people in communities who are hurting in real deep ways. The problems that they're suffering from are very nuanced, but they're granular in nature and they require real intentional planning in order to begin to lift the burden off of some of these communities that have been generationally and inter-generationally plagued by those kinds of problems. The challenge will remain. Whether we can rise to it, will the establishment rise to those challenges is a different question. --Andrew Gillum
  • Intergenerational support is crucial. I feel like generations give up on each other. If you're Gen Z, you're like, "Gen X is never gonna get it." If you're Gen X, you're like, "Those Millennials are such idiots." --Yara Shahidi

What is the Opportunity? | MWM
Find The Opportunity In Your Challenge = Find the opportunity in your challenge. It is easy to focus on the obstacle and get discouraged, but ask yourself this: What is the opportunity in the challenge you are facing right now? If you can answer it, it'll give you hope and a light at the end of the tunnel as you realize that there is an opportunity in what you are going through.




The 3 Elements of Prime Opportunity | MWM
Step Outside Your Comfort Zone = Success often hinges on our ability to seize significant opportunities when they appear. It involves calculated risk taking and stepping outside of your comfort zone. Is there an opportunity that you need to seize today? Outline the benefits and steps to capitalize on the opportunity and then take action!




Which Book of John Maxwell’s is His Favorite? | MWM
Be Excited By Your Opportunities = Opportunity should excite us! An opportunistic person must bring excitement with them into the next opportunity and moment of impact. As you take the day on, look for opportunities to better fulfill the purpose, mission, and vision that you as a leader are carrying. When you look at every moment as an opportunity to be more effective, you become more effective.




Problems Will Improve You If You Let Them | MWM
Problems Create Opportunities = The seventh principle of problem-solving is believing there is always an opportunity. All problems create opportunities when you have the right attitude. If you look at a problem correctly, there is always an answer, always a lesson, and always an opportunity.

This Greek Statue Inspired Our Understanding of Opportunity
https://youtu.be/7wS_Xd1k84Y
Schedule Your Priorities = You can grab an opportunity when it comes at you, but you can’t grab hold of it after it has passed. This is a reminder of how to manage time. If you manage your time well, you can seize opportunities. The issue isn’t prioritizing your schedule, but scheduling your priorities, so you can seize the moments when they come.


Opportunity Opens Doors and Expands Your Life
Chase Opportunities And Discover New Possibilities = Discovering an opportunity can be very satisfying. Once you find an opportunity and seize the moment, your life begins to expand and open up with possibilities that you never imagined. Find, chase, and maximize opportunities and gain returns.



Statement of Strength for Leaders...Opportunity = Today’s Statement of Strength: “In the middle of the difficulty lies opportunity.” –Albert Einstein


https://youtu.be/Xs35cWgER8s
Work for the Opportunity = Opportunities come and go, some without warning. You must be prepared in order to succeed! Practice day in and day out, so when that opportunity arises you are ready to face it head-on.



Create the Opportunity -- Stop avoiding the problem, and achieve the opportunity. Don't sit back and wait for life to happen, instead, create the life you want. By doing so - you will stop waiting for the right moment and start living in the moment.

Every Problem Is An Opportunity In Disguise = Every problem that comes to you has an opportunity. Even if you don't see it initially, each problem has a unique solution and opportunity, and has the potential to help you grow as a leader. 

In The Middle of Difficulty, Find The Opportunity

Who’s to Blame?
Taking responsibility is tough. No one wants to admit when they mess up or they’re wrong—it goes against all our natural instincts. But when you start to point fingers and play the blame game, know that you are likely not the only one playing—chances are, there are several fingers pointing back at you. It’s best to learn to take responsibility early on—the first time—so you can learn from your mistakes and grow, becoming that much more effective as a leader. 

It’s Not Them, It’s You
Sometimes, when a person has a lot of problems with a lot of different people, the crux of the problem might very well be that person. When you’re looking at a problem, before you start the blame-game, take some time to reflect inward. How might you have contributed to the problem? Accept responsibility where it’s appropriate. Because if you are the “problem,” the only way to rid yourself of the same problems happening again and again, is to first fix the problem brewing within.
